XIX Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 As I give away my ignorance of the Tridentine Rite. (at least you'll never catch me saying "the priest turns his back to the people!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 No, they usually have a choir to sing the ordinary and the hymns (if there are hymns) and have a schola to sing the propers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 The schola is a smaller, male group which chants the propers and ordinary (usually alternated with the people), they use the Liber or Gradual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ora et Labora Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I sing in a Choir for the TLM, and we do have a Cantor...but he usually just begins some of the hymns, and never really sing a whole song just by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
